Transducers _can be_ parallelized (TODO) but some transducer implementations do contain state, like `take` and therefore cannot be parallelized. The big thing is no intermediate results.

This is in the same vein as the question "why would I want a web browser on my phone? Why wouldn't I just use the web browser on my desktop computer?" As to why you'd want a device that is listening - and does something

The Gerton Leg, adjustable is not a good solution for a free-standing desk. The recommended installation is two of them at max height with the tabletop affixed to something solid, like a wall. I learned this after I built the free-standing

Its probably like many luxury sedans (and pretty much every recent Benz) if you tap the turn signal stick it flashes the blinker three times to signal a lane change so you don't need to put it back into position once you have made the

Eloquent Ruby[1] by Russ Olsen If you are an experienced programmer coming to Ruby this is definitely the place to start. Especially if you are a Java or .NET EE-indoctrinated programmer. The people who maintain your code after you will be

There is also the sequel to the Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook, Mastering Clojure Data Analysis[0]. While I don't know for certain I'm going to theorize the Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook began as a Haskell version of the Clojure

A word of advice: if you move from the .NET platform - C# - to the JVM, then Scala is your language. Java was your language for a very long time, and Java 8 is pretty close, but I still believe Scala is the right choice. There is a ton of c

I've been on the "good problem" side of scalability on the MS platform. It can scale if you can scale your wallet. Monthly bills of ~$54K hosted at Rackspace became monthly bills of ~$18K after a rewrite using Java, JRuby, HB

It operates similarly to HBase but has built in security levels and easy extensibility for custom iterators and aggregators. Failure I cannot speak to since I really only develop against a local cluster that I blow away often.

It seems like this phenomenon is something you'd expect to hear about from thru hikers on the Appalachian Trail. Never specifically asked or looked for it, but never heard anything about it either.

I feel the same way - I manage okay answering questions but the tough questions I ask typically go unanswered or are never satisfactorily answered. There just isn't incentive for other people to answer them. (The bounty system doesn't wor
